3.3.3 Host System Mouse Settings
The host's operating system knows various settings from the mouse driver.
While the IP KVM works with accelerated mice and is able to synchronize the
local with the remote mouse pointer, there are the following limitations, which
may prevent this synchronization from working properly:
¾ Special Mouse Driver: There are mouse drivers that influence the
synchronization process and lead to desynchronized mouse pointers.
If this happens, make sure you do not use a special vendor-specific
mouse driver on your host system.
¾ Windows XP Mouse Settings: Windows XP knows a setting named
“improve mouse acceleration”, which has to be deactivated.
¾ Active Desktop: If the Active Desktop feature of Microsoft Windows
is enabled do not use a plain background. Instead, use some kind of
wallpaper. As an alternative, you could also disable the Active
Desktop completely. Navigate your mouse pointer into the upper left
corner of the applet screen and move it slightly forth and back. Thus
the mouse will be resynchronized. If re-synchronizing fails, disable
the mouse acceleration and repeat the procedure.
3.3.4 Single and Double Mouse Mode
The information above applies to the Double Mouse Mode, where remote and
local mouse pointers are visible and need to be synchronized. The SP1200A
also features another mode, the Single Mouse Mode, where only the remote
mouse pointer is visible. Activate this mode in the open Remote Console and
click into the window area. The local mouse pointer will be hidden and the
remote one can be controlled directly. To leave this mode, it is necessary to
define a mouse hotkey in the Remote Console Settings Panel. Press this key
to free the captured local mouse pointer.
